General information

A dryad is a tree tree spirit that lives in and protects a specific tree, woodland or forest, known as their protectorate. Normally considered to be very shy creatures, they become very aggressive when protecting what is theirs, or when under the mating urge.

Dryads feel an overwhelming need to mate once every ten years. During this time a Dryad becomes sexualy aggressive and seductive. They will do anything, shy of harming their chosen mate, to complete the mating ritual and produce offspring.

Dryads are extremely loyal to their friends and Ally's. Even going so far as to choose a single mate for as long as they both live.

Dryads can bestow a seed to a single chosen male, by pressing it into his chest and magically bonding it to his heart. As long as the males heart is true and he loves the Dryad, he will not suffer the effects of aging and gains all of the Dryads immunities. Should the male ever attempt to betray the Dryad or her protectorate, the seed will burst killing the male instantly. Should he or the Dryad stop loving the other, the bond will end, the seed will flush from his system and return to the Dryad.

A Dryad can't normally leave her protectorate or tree for more than twenty-four hours, however if she is traveling with her bonded male, she can do so indefinitely. She can also return to her tree with her bonded male, at will, instantly, regardless of how far she has travelled from it, by simply taking his hand and stepping into a nearby tree.

If a Dryad were to loose her bonded male, either by his death or her seed retuning to her, she will use her tree-stride ability to return to her tree alone.

Young Dryads, under the age of twenty. Live in their mothers tree. Once they reach their twentieth year, they are given a seed from their mothers tree and allowed to find their own place. They can choose to join their mothers protectorate under her rule or travel elsewhere to create their own. A Dryads protectorate starts as one tree and grows after each mating urge.
